Sponsored by: The Strategic Ongoing Role of Disease Management in the Healthcare Continuum: Achieving the ROI

During The Strategic Ongoing Role of Disease Management in the Healthcare Continuum: Achieving the ROI, you'll hear from two leading industry experts who will examine how disease management programs can continue to prove their worth and new developments in disease management that are netting results.

IASIS Healthcare® LLC plans to help improve patient care and physician satisfaction with the deployment of a new picture archiving and communications system (PACS) from McKesson. IASIS expects to experience significant workflow advantages by making the move to Horizon Medical Imaging™ PACS, which gives time-crunched physicians easy access to medical images as part of the EHR. As a result, hospital clinicians will be able to spend less time locating information and more time on clinical activities and patient care.

New York-Presbyterian Hospital has introduced a new electronic PHR, enabling its patients to access their medical information wherever and whenever they need it. Hospital leaders believe the innovative system — including its use of readily available software and platforms — is the first of its kind to be launched at a major medical institution and the only such system that provides security, privacy and portability to patients from all walks of life.

After evaluating proposals from several leading vendors, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City selected RSA ClearTrust® Web access management software as the central component of its identity and access management strategy. The RSA Security solution provides administrators with fine-grained capabilities for managing users’ access to mission-critical applications and sensitive information, based on an individual’s role and unique user profile.

Your responses will be kept strictly confidential.
